Opinions on best integrated under 10k?

Here is a list of super integrateds from Darko, not a single tubed version in this particular mix:

(solitary exception of tubed linestage in the VR Lio)

Esoteric makes some stunning integrateds.

Sitting here listening to music on my second system and I am staring at the amp, and staring.....

WTH?
It fills all my checkmark I was looking for in main system!

3 rca analog inputs( can use rca out the ph10 phono)
2 spdif.
2 toslink.
1 Usb.
2 analog outputs( fixed and variable).
Built in headphone amp.
Tube in the preamp section.


What is this beast??

Peachtree Audio Nova.  ... Lol.

So why can nobody build something similar on a higher fi scale?

Even the newer nova150 and 300 are steps backwards for me as just 2 rca inputs and just 1 fixed analog output which is not sub friendly.

Doh......

Uber,

Seems like you already have your amp then...ha.

Does the Nova not quite give you what you’re looking for?  Lot's of Peachtree fans out there.

You know
Got another 2 weeks before allowed back to work.
Don't be surprised if I throw the Nova in just to see......
